Nick you are too good at predicting the most recent fears and themes i had developed 😂
Once again the timing couldn't have been any better!
I am glad the video provided some insight!
This is a really insightful video. I struggle with OCD and GAD and sleep is now just something I am aware of and constantly keep track of. I never used to care about it. I keep comparing my sleep / my anxiety now to what it used to be like and trying to reach that perfectionism when even in the past it was never perfect. I don't know why I care so much now, it's really tough to forget about it once you have gone through insomnia hell. Thank you for your wisdom, please keep it going!
How you doing now?
This is so incredibly helpful and just what I needed to hear. I am pregnant and got so fixated on my health and needing 8 hours that I ended at the hospital due to severe panic attacks after 72 hours up (due to obsessing about how "I need to sleep" "good sleep is health " "why am I not sleeping yet") and all resources I found until now made it worse, exactly as you said its all about listing things you must do correctly in order to get good sleep which its supposedly so essential. I feel so tense and guilty when everywhere everyone is hammering down about importance of 8 hours and consequences if you don't achieve it. First time in weeks I feel some relief listening to this, almost wanna cry. God bless you
This gives me so much hope. Thank you so much
Thank you so much beyond words for this video. I’m really suffering from sleep OCD right now and I have been for a while, but this video gives me so much hope and insight, and helps me to know that I’m not alone in this. Thank you so so much sir.
Brother this was the best I have heard about sleeping and ocd I just ordered the book in ur hands on Amazon 😊 I am from Montréal Canada 🇨🇦 we also are screwed up on sleep deprivation,,,, millions of thank u
You are incredible speaker and have a unique perspective on the sleep issues and associated anxiety. I literally watched your video start to end "on a single breath". Thank you for bringing out valuable information.
Hi there - amazing, amazing video - thank you so much for it!
Fantastic explanation!!
Great video you totally nailed it absolutely relatable thank you
The blue light thing is interesting. I watch RUclips on my phone every night when I lay down to go to bed and it never effects me lol I watch it for usually around 15 minutes and I’m out 😴😴😴
Me too 🤪
Absolutely Kyle. The fear is usually more problematic than the blue light itself!
I remember one of my army buddies telling me he stayed up 22 days in a row for fire guard. he squeezed lime into his eyes to stay awake. he now has ptsd and has atrocious sleep
I have struggled with sleep fear since I was a kid.
What do you do? I kind of have the same issues
@@paulguerramedina1865 It's definitely a process. I would say talking with people you are close to helps or maybe a therapist or sleep specialist.
I think you’re spot on with just the whole acceptance thing it’s the hardest thing for the mind to just accepting whatever not sleeping, your life situation discomfort aging sickness and death I got sleep apnea and I think sleep industry is kinda racket. I mean the whole medical industry is basically profiting on keeping people alive no matter how shitty their quality of life is.
Nice video. Can you talk about fear of doing exposures too fast and then relapsing or doing a too big exposure and then fearing that the brain will get overwhelmed
I absolutely can!
Youre just looking for reassurance. That's your ocd asking. Learn to be okay with not knowing
Thank you🙂🙏🏻
Brother you wanna party ? Thank you for breaking it down. It’s awesome
Ive beem sleeping bad all my ljfe anyways, ive come to accept it and i swear with acceptance and not caring its been better than ever still not 8 hours tho. Remember people we are mortal beings and ailments WILL come to us all, something wil have to kill us eventually
What if your fear is going psychotic from not sleeping
I am suffering with this kind of OCD. I am scared of being psychotic because i have an insomnia😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly the same as I have. I have also gotten psychotic due to insomnia so it makes the fear even worse cause it was a nightmare
This was the comment I was searching for. One of the requirements for my job is driving(sometimes 8 or more hours In One siting) I also have people that work for me and they rely on me for income. My fear is not sleeping and going crazy in front of my employees and/having to hide panic attacks all day. I’m a performer on stage too so the spotlight makes this all so much worse for me in my mind. I really wish I could work from home but I can’t. Guess I gotta go somehow but I’d hate to hurt someone else in the process via an accident or on stage in front of people.
You can’t go psycho from not sleeping. you’ll sleep before you do. it’s the anxiety that you have that turns into psychosis.
@@dodgdurango6128you’re not going to get psychosis if you’re not sleeping you will be fine
Dude thx for the video but the fear thing happens in real life I lost my dream job as a scientist cuz sleep deprived due to tinnitus lost pay out on disability tried 30 diff meds and nothing tried mediation rituals calming down tried being awake in the day time many things whole body off digestive off vision is off seeing hallucinations cannot go back to work so yes they are dangers to sleep deprivation
I watched it but I’m not in trouble.
I listen to this video on loop to fall asleep .. is it compulsion/reassurance?
I'd think it's acceptance.
